Arthropod Breeding Facility at the BNITM

At the BNITM’s arthropod facility, various mosquito species are reared, including native as well as invasive and exotic species. These are used by different research groups to study mosquito-borne pathogens and mosquito ecology. The facility includes two large climate chambers, a larval rearing room, and several incubators.

To support public understanding of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit, the arthropod facility works closely with BNITM’s communications team.
